During my football career, there were days when I felt amazing on the field, and there were days when I felt slow and sluggish. Fast forward a few years, I found similar variances in my performance at work.
Some days I was full of energy, able to make quick, complex decisions, and on other days I would have a tough time even convey what I was thinking in a sufficient manner.
As I began to research the human body, performance, and recovery, I came across a lot of ground-breaking research around the importance of diet, sleep, and external stress, and started to incorporate changes to my lifestyle in order to maximize my performance. Despite the manual tweaks, there was always a missing piece – data! I had always thought it would be amazing to actually measure, analyze, and incorporate findings from data in my diet, recovery, physical activity, neural stress, etc.
If you’re someone who is waiting for this technology and wants to learn more about how to make better scientific decisions to maximize your performance at work – then this episode is for you!
